Addition of "diversity" dimension to selection process #2

Genetic algorithms can be greatly enhanced with the addition of a diversity evaluation in addition to fitness. This allows better chasm jumping and limits evolutionary bottlenecks.

There is now a configuration parameter doesABeatBFunction which can be used to address diversity. The readme has been update with example code.
